Lincoln wanted to ship the em back, it’s a disgrace the South lost the war.

Trudeau wanted to stick the finger to Trump with his loose talk about welcoming immigrants. A form of virtue signalling.

These people just really want to work but I can honestly say that maybe God is working in their favor because this country is going down and God is going to do it , so maybe it's a blessing in disguise , and to the Caucasian how are you gonna get upset at people for doing the same thing you did, why because you write on your Constitution I didn't know you were God, God didn't put you here either... I'm just saying and good has a way of bringing everyone in to submission and really let you know your place.. America Canada Australia none of it is your Land.. You killed millions of people to take that land and your sin's have piled all the way up to the heavens..

He's not an immigrant he's an illegal alien there is a big difference. I don't want him in my country and I doubt the USA wants him either and for good reason. You cannot just pick and choose the laws you wanna follow and walk over the boarder and cheat the system. All that does is hurt the country and it's a spit in the face for all those real immigrants who wait,work and pay lots of money to come over here. Deport them all and build a wall.

It hurts feeling rejected in another country that you are illegally residing in people and countries want skilled labor academics scientist enterpanuers people that will help a country grow and be more prosperous not common laborers and a unskilled workforce

No sympathy for this man. He choose to break US law and then tried pulling the same bs in Canada. He only has himself to blame. Stay in your own country and make it better. And if you really want to live in a different country, then for God’s sake do it the legal way.

If I was South America I’d stay in my country, work & have as best a life as I could with what’s there. The American dream isn’t for non Americans to dream about or let alone Canada. Every country has its own issues you just need to deal with it, it’s better than running away to another place where your not wanted

It’s not any safer in any country than their own. They need to come to the realization that they need to stay in their countries & make the best of it because the US isn’t gonna be playing games much longer & Canada doesn’t want the issue moving up north.

Title is misleading. He is ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. We don't want him here because he can't work so therefore we have to give him welfare. Go back to wherever he was from and apply it properly.

Why do Muslims need to live in Canada?\nGo to other Muslim countries.\nYou settle in Canada to upset everyone.\nYou want western rights and freedom but you want to impose your weird ideology there.\nStay in Arab, African or Indonesian regions.

If Canada wants to import Muslims on mass they deserve everything they get --your going to reap just what you sew.

Did she just list honor killings as a part of Islam??? This journalist needs to research the religion properly because honor killings are not condoned whatsoever... this concept is just belted out by haters who are on a smear campaign of Islam. And then this journalist gave that farzana lady the last word of her 'critical' views on Islam it just undid everything the Muslims were doing before her giving a clearer picture of Islam, farzana lady will just make people confused I mean those are her personal opinions but how does it help this piece? Also last time I checked following fashion trends is not synonymous to peer pressure as what journalist wants to suggest that girl was peer pressured in to wearing the scarf when she clearly explained she wasn't. And when that guy was talking about teaching women Islamic studies journalist is like but you just teach them Islam not anything else WELL it's a mosque that's what people usually do if they want to learn religion they go to place of worship, if they want to learn something else they go to school or university. She's just twisting their words to give this undertone to the piece that yes the stereotypes are true but Muslims are still somewhat ok. Just stop spreading the hate and provide non-bias journalism!

Muslims are not bad we're normal people like everyone else what the hell is the problem I love Islam because I am a Muslim comment if you agree and if you don't get the hell out of here bc like I said we're normal people like Americans and everyone else in the world we come to America because we want to be safe here

where are those Hollywood celebrities? They would be the most popular wanted hotties for Muslim men.

the liberal governments are the problem they want to destroy the western socialization ,why do you thing Arabia is not takeing any.

Canada is a Christian country and the muslim community must denounce Islam and be Canadain or leave. No one wants this country to look like Europe. There are good muslims and you can tell who they are. They are the ones that want to fit in to Canadas values. I would gladly protect any muslim that wishes to truely become a Canadian. Guess who I would have to protect them from? It is not Canadians they fear but muslims.

I'm a Canadian and I think it okay for them to wear what they want and they have a right to seek safety....they are humans too

This is how you can tell a good Muslim from the one's not to be trusted, those that play the victim and defend Islam, without separation of the radical Muslims want Islamic conquest. The Muslim woman that says she worries about what can happen to her by other Muslims are the ones that don't hide the truth and don't defend Islam.

what is the problem with those people? they excape killing in Islamic countries...come here...and now they pull the same bullshit on us...fucking crybabies ! the world doesn't revolve around you!\nFirst of all you are all cowards for not standing up against extremists in your countries and defending your families overthere !!! (this counts especially for migrant males) shame on you !! we fought for our freedom against Tyranny for hundreds of years and you want us to accept those medieval behavior of yours ? honestly I don't think we're so far away from a civil war !

Muslims do not will not and do not want to assimilate, respect or uphold our western traditions, values, rules or laws...they need to go back to their home where they can live with the same sick mind set class of people. I have always said, as I too have been very involved with Muslims as my ex husband was Muslim, Muslims have no neighbors, they have no love or compassion, they cannot do not and will not be a respector of any Christian beliefs or values of any kind, Why do they want to live in our free countries when they despise freedom. They are not here for freedom, they hate freedom of every kind. it is very clear from the Qu'ran, that I have read. They hate our culture, they despise our free speech, they despise Christian's they despise our dress (apparel) they despise any form of woman's rights. When I lived in Egypt it was extremely rare to see a woman ride a horse, drive a car, ride a bike or go swimming, or even jogging. I was a rare exception because I was American and did all of the above, however none of my female friends could or would do any of the things that I just mentioned. Ask yourself, why the hell are they coming to our home lands?!?!

Recently I had a very uncomfortable time shopping for a sofa. I shopped for a couple weeks, looking around the many furniture stores in my neighbourhood. I thought I was maybe crazy but after a couple trips back to a few of the same stores I could tell a few of the stores didn't want to deal with me because of my skin colour. I hate racism and intolerance.

hello m'y canadian brainwashed fallas why wont u tell ur fucking gouvernement to stop selling canadian made weapons in to the hands of terroristes like saodi arabia our biggest arms custemer Ohhh i Forget for canada its okay to secretly arme moderate rebels in syria cuz they are fighting to get assad out what the west wants at all costes

I honestly cant believe that any western woman would want to be a Muslim.

Stupid women wearing niqabs hiqabs and burkas if you want to wear that shit live in Indonesia

White people hate to admit that racism happens because they do not want guilt projected onto them.

Muslim and Islam.\n\n\nTheir teachings are expand or die. \n\nWe don't want to fight you.\nyou can do what you want and so can we.\n\nyou can't hind behind your religion when it comes to some Laws, if you are setting up to expand here you better dig in deep.

actually islam isnt apart of western values tradition or culture.. and is threatening to ALL who comes to Canada from around the world to escape religious tyranny and conglomeration. people want freedom.. not religious domination !

I am muslim and I completely understand why would canadians hate muslims being part of their land. well it's their land not ours (muslims) .. so I actually think that muslims have no right to impose themselves unless they are canadians and not immigrants. well any case I'm neither this not that. Juts wanted to say what I was thinking. Have a nice day.

I don't want Islam in my country, not because I hate them but because religions have their own set of moral principles and beliefs, Islam is clearly not compatible to our secular system. I'm not religious myself and I live in the west coast where there are few muslims, but just based from the discussions I've had with transfer students that come to my university I already don't like what I hear. They were nice, kind of, but all of them had backwards ideas. If you need a better reason to be against it, simply read the first few pages from the Quran, it is deplorable, more so then the bible. \n\nIf they want to integrate, their beliefs need to be reformed like Christians have centuries ago.

And so Canadians got scared of Harper and proceeded to elect a lefty snowboarder who loves Muslims and wants to assure them that Canada loves Muslims and won't stand in their way as they take over.

Canada's cold, expensive & boring. The people here spend 1/3 of their time talking about America and the other 2/3 about hockey and how accepting and 'nice' they are. Our country hates Americans yet they rely on American brands, tv etc. For their livelihood and know more about their political situation than their own. I want to move sooo badly

Completely backwards. You don't wear a MASK in public!! If you want to wear your MASK wear it at home!!! You dress up to come out!!! WTF

If you don't want to assimilate and follow Canadian customs go back to whatever hellhole you crawled out of. Canada has a set of laws and WILL NOT allow sharia law to be practised. If the woman in the blue niqab wants to be a better Muslim she should recant her faith and flee that misogynist death cult.

Why do Muslims want to live in Christian countries? All they do is complain. Sheesh!!!

Afo- American is a nation with in America . we were up rooted and planted . just dont go where you are not wanted is the message. Who needs the headaches.

sorry guys we r here hate us all you want.

If you're Moslem and you want Sharia law please leave Canada, leave Europe go where you belong: the African desert

Maybe immigrants of colour would have an easier time if they actually acted like immigrants of past to this country, the Italians, Portuguese etc they came to Canada and they didn't ask for handouts like the ones who come these days from India, Sri Lanka etc who get on welfare. In the past they came with the intention of actually becoming Canadians and assimilating, the ones now come and all they want to do is create their own little old countries here in Canada.

U fucken bag heads get out of here u r not wanted !!!

The difference between radical Islam and moderate Islam is the radicals want to cut your head off; the moderates want the radicals to cut your head off.

It's always a one sided point of view.They can say anything they want and we're supposed to believe them.They're so afraid to say anything good about Canada because they'll  get their heads chopped off.It amazes me how the media is so quick to jump at the opportunity of a minor complaint about one jerk.Mind your own business and we'll mind ours.If you want to live in a country of Us and Them,then move to Saudi Arabia where you're complaints will land you in the stoning pit.

If they want to assimilate and live here thats cool. Muslims also have a right to practice their religion in canada. Other then that leave the jihad bullshit back home because trust me, me and the rest of Canada well sends you back to the fucking desert so fast you would think it was an act of allah.

CBC, I'm disappointed. You have to be aware that the Implicit Association Test is a flawed test. Do some research, and you will find that outside of the soft sciences, it does not hold water. It is not a repeatable test. Get one person to do the same test every day for 30 days. See how things change. \nAdditionally, that written survey is craftily put together to get what it wants. Just look at the language.

The issue is islam, not all muslims. Unfortunately those two often go hand in hand, making it hard to criticizes islam without people thinking you are criticizing all muslims, which isn’ the case. \n\nThe issue with the religion of islam is that it is inherently not peaceful (If you want to discuss why that is more so the case than other religions we can do that). In fact in many situations you will hear Islamic muslins part of a western country use the free speech given to them, under the laws and constitution of that society, in order to impose the suggestion of sharia law. This would mean no more free speech (and far more dire consequences) for others not of islamic belief under sharia law. Sharia law is a set of religious political laws used in the majority of middle eastern Islamic countries and cultures. It is truly a backward and barbaric set of laws, incompatible with democracy and I encourage you to investigate that claim. \n\nSo essentially decreasing islam in any scenario will also decrease the political climate it wants to live in. And not only live in, but given to text in the Koran, effectively dominate. Religious assimilation and toleration is not part of the religion. And in the small case that it is, those religious peoples are second class citizens. \n\nSo you can see how it may sound harsh to say “get rid of islam/muslims” if you are ignorant to the fact of both their possible separation and islam’s eventual political goals. \n\nNot all muslims want sharia law or are as fundamental/radical as others, but that distinction can be hard to make for many people, when a lot of them are silent. All you see are the riots and bombings across the globe by radical islamists, with little or no condemnation by the former. However once again I state, the issue is islam, not all muslims.\n\nIf you think I myself am ignorant of any of this information please attempt to convince me otherwise and I will thoroughly read your argument.

how does it feel to be .. afraid .. islam .. your islamic jihadist ways are not wanted in .. canada

I understand the Islam Religion I read the Quran , Mohammad was a Nut case nothing more .I see Muslims asking for more than the people of Canada gets they want the government to fund Islamic centers and schools while the government does not do this for any other religion . The Alberta government built am Islamic center in Edmonton but will not give any other religion a friend ship center . I rather if no more of them comes here .

I want to open a drapery in a muslim neighborhood so that the women can pull a string and feel the fresh air on their skulls and maybe their faces can unswell from being covered all the time.

I always thought that Canada was a nice country and I wanted to come as a tourist, Seeing this I will never come! I really hate the religion and ideology Islam. Really hate it!

I feel extremely sad and sick about the invasion of Muslim, Based on history, I know this invasion is planned they are here to conquer the lands. Nobody ignores that the objetive is to dominate the whole world which will be easier in 15 years when they became majority. I just hope I can get out of this country before the expand with the Sharia law. The culture is scary, from men to women the are agree with the sharia law, and liberals do not want to find out what that really means, but it will be too late when they get high positions all around the country. Actually, liberals normally do no have moral and that gives muslim a good excuse to believe that Alla is on their side and they are suposed to dominate. The same as USA and Canada do not have idea what is going on but they will regret very soon when this muslim show what they really are doing here. Canada isn't a good country anymore.

Christians are not under the law of even their own Bible. That is because Jesus fulfilled the law when he died and rose again. Now to those that think Christianity and the Islam is the same you are naive. Firstly the violent verses in Christianity is speaking as part of the old testament temple law. and as I said earlier Jesus dies to fulfill the law, so we are not under the law, and any other violent verses in the Bible is in fact a description of a historical event... \nNow the Quran prescribes the violence in the newer verses. The newer verses of the Quran which supersedes the older more peaceful version. \nIn Christianity newer verses supersede the old but, the newer verses are more peaceful. unlike the Quran where the newer verses are more violent.\nAlso one must look at the founder of any religion to see what it is like. Jesus was peaceful and perfect even Mohammad agrees with that,\n\nBut Mohammad killed, raped, had sex with a prepubescent girl named (forgive me for the spelling ) Aishia. He had sex with her when she was 9 years old, Jesus was against that. \n\nThe followers in the religion are to copy the the founder of that religion. The Hadith is a collection of Mohammad's sayings. so the followers of islam are supposed to follow that too. ISIS are some of the most devout Muslims in the world and follow the Quran and the Hadith to the letter. To say ISIS does not represent islam is like saying tele-evangelists are not a part of Christianity. (And I am sure some of you might actually agree with that) but the fact is it does. The personal character of them does not always represent Christianity. Jesus was perfect Mohammad was not. Jesus is sitting at the right had of God \nMohammad was the worst of sinners. \n\nMohammad is in hell because he was killed my a female and according to Mohammad in the Hadith a man murdered by a woman is going to go to hell. That would also include Mohammad. \n\nSo who would you want to follow. The man that committed NO sin and lived a holy and perfect life and died for us and is sitting at the right hand of God, or the one that did some of the most awful sins in the world, is far from perfect completely unholy end expects his followers to die for him, and is now in hell.\n \nYour Call. \n.\nWatch how many death threats I get after this.
